Postal Food Drive

Postal workers across America will collect food donations for the , the nation’s largest, single-day food drive operated by the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) and the U.S. Postal Service.

Letter carriers in San Diego County are asking residents to support the food drive by placing a bag of nonperishable food items by their mailboxes before their mail is delivered on Saturday, May 12.

Residents can also drop off food donations at their local post offices.
